I Almost Didn’t

I make plans

I recognize

The Importance of Getting Out

I make plans

I get ready

or imagine what that means

Ready

I change my mind

Next time—

Friday I let pass

Saturday I look:

Yes Maybe maybe

I drive downtown

round and round

Is it okay

if I park upside down

Think to give up

I don’t mind

giving up

I’ll be late

how rude

Best go back home

pretend I went

Report how grand

was that cool event

How does this end

I park

I walk

I take it in

Art and Film

creative compassion

What grace

and a flimsy green empty chair

the gallery is hot

One opportunity

the night I went anyway

Sitting with Grace

a minor major Premiere

I was there

I was there

I’m still there🪶

I’m Not Selling Anything

I’m not selling anything
Like a crow or a raccoon
I collect things though
Shiny
Stranded
Odd ones
Pleasant to hold or look upon
Used
Obscure
Smooth or jagged
My walls are places
Some I’ve seen and I have not
I like to look
To imagine what
To sneak within
Wander through

I hear the beat of trees

Feel their pulse
As I pass by
My steps are light
They’re oh so slow
My eyes are poor
I need more time
What’s the rush
I might be late
But I’ll show
Maybe
I’m not selling anything
What have you got?🪶
